Hi everyone, I don't know if something similar has already been posted but i'm having a issue with a z97 gaming 7 motherboard that i bought. It gets stuck on debug code 71 which the manual says it's late south bridge initialization. Also this motherboard bas two bios so i tried switching but it gives code 99 which is console output input devices initialization. So i'm basically stuck with my troubleshooting and since is my first time building i really dont know what to do. My build has: Z97 gaming 7 motherboard Intel core i5 4460 cpu Kingston ddr3 2x8 1600mhz ram Asus gtx 750 gpu I tried posting just with ram and cpu, and i also tried cpu only but obviously it gives even another debug code. I also tried changing psu cables but i know for sure everything worked because it was already built and i just changed the motherboard. I hope someone can help me. Marco

Hello, Like in the title, I'm looking for system storage for my I7-4770k on MSI Z97S SLI Plus. I want a faster storage than HDD and up to 250GB. And my question is: what should i buy? Will my platform use all of the potential of NVMe storage or should i look for normal M.2 drive or maybe SSD SATA is better option? I read somewhere that i have M.2 on PCIe 3.0 x1. Will that allows me to take an advantage of NVMe? Thanks for help. My PC: I7-4770K Stock 1060 6GB Gaming X MSI 2x KHX1600C10D3/4G (soon F3-2400c10d-16GTX) MSi Z97S SLI Plus WD Black 1TB Win 7

Hi, My younger brother just pinged me and asked for my recommendations for either buying a new PC or upgrading his old one. He currently has a Asus Z97-P Socket 1150 motherboard with the Intel Core i7-4790 (not K) with 8GB RAM and a Geforce 970. My first instinct was that the CPU (Quad Core running at 3.6Ghz) would still be sufficient for current (and upcoming?) games and that he would be better off investing in a M.2 PCIe SSD for the system partition (he currently only has a single HDD for everything) and wait for the 11xx Nvidia cards to drop and catch a used 1070 ti when that happens, thus postponing the upgrade of the CPU/MB/RAM. Or will the CPU be a bottleneck for something like the 1070 ti? I am suddenly not so confident giving this advice. Feel free to point out my mistakes. Best regards, Tom Reiertsen

Hello, I'm having way too much trouble making my brand new 970 EVO to work. Systems is as follows: ASUS Maximus VII Impact Samsung 970 EVO Intel 4790K 16 GB DDR3 GTX 980 I've already updated bios and tried disabling Fast boot, CSM and delete boot keys. My PCI-E 16_1 port is limited to 8x, which would seem to indicate the M.2 SSD is connected, but no luck yet. M.2 SSD doesn't appear neither in BIOS nor Windows. What else can I do? Any help, even if I've seem to done it already will be welcomed. Thanks a lot!

Hi so I am still planning on making a PC with a Xeon but I don't know if it will work out. The primary reason for this is because I can't find any cheap, compatible motherboards. I found an Asus Z97-a on a site similar to ebay. I checked it out and it said it was an 8-series chipset. It also says that some features of the Xeon will not be available with it. The Xeon supports its socket. It is a Xeon E3-1270 V3. Could someone help me?

Hi, I'm trying to understand why my new 970 Evo NVMe drive in M.2 is working at half the rated speed. The drive is rated for over 3000Mbps transfer rates. but I'm getting less than half. Looking into it Samsung Magician software says its connected PCIe Gen 2 x 2. On my Gigabyte gaming 7 Z98 board with an i7 4790k. I'm confused is my NVMe drive limited in a way? is the port on the board just naturally slower? Because the promo stuff says that the port can transfer at 10Gbps (Image) My board is also PCIe 3.0 supported. would it be better to get a PCI adapter for the M.2 drive? Thanks in advanced!

Hello! I have recently purchased 2 Intel 760p series SSDs and installed them in an X99 system and a Z97 one. I noticed the one in the Z97 system was considerably slower than the one in the X99 (file transfers bottleneck on the Z97 @ around 707MB/s or around 6gbps), and started to investigate, finding out that it can run only at 6Gbps due to chipset limitations. There are 2 solutions, one would be to leave it as it is, the other would be to buy a pci express to m.2 express card. 20-30$ for such a card wouldn't be an issue, but i'm worried about longterm reliability and the ssd reaching it's full potential and not throw money out the window for nothing. If the card fails, would it take the SSD with it ? Or am i just paranoic.

Finally I got my hands on my old 4790k. I successfully delidded it and applied Collaboratory Luquid Pro (-20 degrees). After hours of trying to find its OC potential I ended up with the following numbers. Is it safe staying on this build? Will the processor quickly be degraded? Your opinions/thoughts. Thank you. CPU FREQUENCY: 5.0GHz (50x100) | CPU CACHE: 4.4GHz VRIN: 2.120V | VCORE: 1.325V | VRING: 1.115V IDLE CPU TEMP: 27-30 °C HOTTEST CORE 100% LOAD (AIDA 64 Xtreme 1 hour test): 73°C AVERAGE CPU TEMP (Crysis3, BF4, Farcry5, GTAV, Witcher3): 52°C MOBO: GIGABYTE Z97MX GAMING 5 RAM: KINGSTON GENESIS 2400MHz 16Gb 1.65V XMP1 COOLING: CORSAIR H100i v2 PC UTILISATION: 3-8 hours per day

I am upgrading from an Asus Z97-AR to an EVGA Z370 Classified K to make way for my new CPU, and I want to retain my current windows install because transferring files is a bitch. I looked online and found this tutorial: which states I can use my command prompt to show unused devices and uninstall drivers from there. Is this an adequate guide? Additionally, does it even matter if I don't uninstall the old drivers, just install the new ones? will that mess with anything?

I've had my Z97-Gaming 5 for a couple months now that i bought off a good friend of mine. It worked great till last night when i decided to update my BIOS to 1.D. Everything that happened before I updated: After a session of gaming with friends, i decided to enable Wake On LAN to access my files on my phone when my PC goes to sleep. After setting everything up, i downloaded the 1.D files, formatted my flash drive to fat32, popped it into the front ports, booted into bios, selected update bios and everything went smoothly. It said restarting in 10 seconds after the updating bar finished. Then i started getting error code 00 on the digital display. It is not error code D0. Nothing is displayed, and it doesn't shut off. Just the digital error code 00 on the motherboard is shown. What i have tried 1 stick of ram, no ram, no gpu, clear cmos jumper, remove cmos battery. Not sure if taking the pc apart could be a solution since like i said, everything was working fine for hours before this happened. Specs: Z97 Gaming 5 i7 4790 non K Corsair H100i v2 (i installed it earlier that day) Hyper X Fury 1866 4GB and a 8GB stick (was wondering if this could be the reason but it gives error code 00) EVGA 500w BQ GTX 970 ACS+ SSC 2.0 NZXT S340 Finding a new LGA 1150 motherboard is not easy or cheap, so if there is a solution other than that i would be grateful.

Hello, I have a question related a Gigabyte board: Gigabyte z97x SOC-Force, I want to buy an SSD and found at very good prices 2 Samsung ones: SSD Samsung 850 Evo SSD Samsung 960 Evo NVME <- I really want this one The problem is that my motherboard doesn't have an M.2 slot and I want to buy an adapter, it's about 9/10Euro here. I tried to find out if is possible to boot windows from an m.2 SSD in a adapter on this motherboard but no luck. I know the chipset, Z97 will support it, but I don't know in this case. I need some advice/information if something like this is possible. Thanks! P.S. Changing the motherboard is not an option, I don't want to upgrade yet!

Hello LTT community, today my new SSD arrived. My plan was to install W10 on it, claiming the old Windows and transfer the important stuff, then delete all partions of the HDD and make one NTFS partition for data. So I plugged it in correcly, booted from my prepared USB stick, unplugged the onther drives and installed windows 10 and my needed programms on it. So far so great. Plugging in the old HDD for transferring my Data and rebooted (no hot plug enabled). But when I rebooted, it booted ALWAYS to the old W10 on my HDD. So, logically I just unplugged it again and restarted the PC to see if that was the problem. But now I get an error: “No boot drive detected. Please plug in a boot drive and press any key.“ But since the SSD is shown in the Windows Installer, I know its plugged in and working! Even the Installation worked flawlessly! The SSD is even shown in the Bootmenu, but when I try booting from it, it's not working. So what the heck is going on?!? I did everything (to my knowledge) right: - unplugged the old HDD so its boot manager won't interfear with the new SSD - booted the USB-Key in UEFI mode - Set the bootorder correctly - Windows 10 even worked Config: - ASRock Z97 Pro 4 Mainboard - Crucial MX500 SSD (New, Windows 10 Pro) - 2TB Seagate HDD (old, Windows 10 Pro) The MX500 is on Sata lll-port 3, (in UEFI registered as SATA 3 SSD) but I took an old Sata cable, don't know if it's Sata3. The HDD is on Sata lll-port 2, (in UEFI registered as SATA 3 HDD) and is working correctly. (DvD is on port 1) Boot order: 1. DvD 2. MX500 3. All below are deactivated. But after a restart with my HDD attached it always changes to: 1. Windows Boot Manager 2. DvD 3. HDD 4. All below are deactivated

As of today Asus have started rolling out BIOS updates to fix the Spectre flaws on their Z97 series motherboards. At least in some regions such as in the UK. e.g. https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/Z97A/HelpDesk_BIOS/ https://www.asus.com/uk/supportonly/SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2/HelpDesk_BIOS/ Someone needs to tell their support staff. Source https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?98738-SPECTRE-and-MELTDOWN-Bug-rocks-Intel-ARM-CPUs/page60#post715845 Anyhow, these are currently in beta so update at your own risk. I've successfully updated my Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2. InSpectre confirms my Haswell CPU is finally protected. Just need Microsoft now to supply a decent Meltdown patch for Windows 7 that doesn't hamper performance.

Hi everyone I just got back my new asrock z97 extreme 6 motherboard from asrock rma service, since the old one stopped working. CPU and ram are installed but I'm getting the error on the video. It looks like the mb says error 66 or an incomplete 66.

Hi. Yesterday, i delidded my 4790k, put the components back in the pc and it all worked fine. Today, I wanted to re install the hard drives, due to their poor cable management, and i did that. Afterwards, when i turned on my pc, I got a 00 code on my asus z97 pro. And 4 seconds after pushing the power button, it turned off and 2 seconds later, turned on again automatically with a 00 code on my MOBO and showed no display on the monitor (here it didnt turn off again). Now here comes the weird part. When I lay my PC down, it boots fine, and if I havent shut down windows, and I put my PC back normally straight up, it will work fine, But when I turn off windows and turn PC on again, the same problem will happen, (motherboard showing "00" code, pc turning off after a few seconds, turning on a few seconds later with NO display and with 00 code on motherboard). But if i turn my PC off, lay it down, like i said, it will work fine. And then the same problem keeps repeating. Any ideas why? I hope you understand my problem (a really weird problem i know). PS: I know, after searching google, that 00 code is likely due to a bent pin on the socket, so my question is, Why does it work properly after laying the PC down? Please feel free to ask me any questions and I appreciate the help in advance. Thanks

Hello and first of all my apologies if this is something that is cover in a previous topic but i am really confused with pcie expansion slots and sli cards. I was thinking of upgrading to a new gpu but the prices have skyrocketed with all the cryptocurrency farmers so i was thinking of adding a second gpu instead. My system uses an asus z97 pro gamer https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97PRO_GAMER/overview/ motherboard and i i am currently using an asus gtx 970 https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/STRIXGTX970DC2OC4GD5/. I have found exactly the same card to use but i dont understand how the expansion slots are working (Single at x16, dual at x8/x8, ) does that mean that the adding a second card will cut it's performance in half? or that the gpu can work at full speed at both x16 and x8? -
After they suggested an H81M motherboard from Asrock for the price of 95€ plus installation (the motherboard retails for 45€ on Amazon) I brought home my poor hunk of metal defeated. Welp, since I was at it and I had the time I decided to unscrew everything, remove Ram, Gpu, every single cable and put some new thermal paste on my cpu, and yeah, it works. My take from this is that, if for no reason your pc won't start, after determining that the Psu, Ram, Gpu or whatever drive you have installed are not at fault, and you've determined that the culprit is the motherboard, you should try and start over (minus cable management, I wouldn't even dare to untangle everything after all the work I've done). So yeah, thank you tech shop for not testing the motherboard alone, after I've suggested so.

So I bought MSI z97 Gaming 5 AC m-itx board with an i3, i swapped out the i3 for an i7 4770k. I took out the ram and put in 2x4gb corsair vengance low profile. when i booted the system up, i cant get any picture up from the onboard graphics. I then tried with a deditcated gpu, then another dedicated gpu i tested it with an i3,i5 and i7, rams dfrom 3 different sets and another psu... all with the same result, i suspect the mobo is a goner, anyone here can confirm that? or maybe you have a miracle fix for me...

I have an asus Z97 pro gamer motherboard which does not support Asus Aura that my 1080ti Strix card has, I didn't realize that when Aura is unsuported it glows gold, this is really annoying. Does anyone know how I can turn off RGB all together or change the default color?

In my naivety I recently bought a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe SSD. I don't have the board for it CURRENTLY but have been researching Z97 boards that could take advantage of it. Looking on the web I see choice quotes such as: 1. "Most Z97 M.2 slots only support PCIe 2." 2. "If you run your M.2 in a slot X you'll restrict your GPU bandwidth." 3. "On Z97 you just can't get the best speeds for that drive." Is my research right? Am I idiot? Probably. I'd love to take use of this drive, but if not easily return it. I haven't yet bought a Z97 board but if there's a setup, even with adaptors, that may work, I'd love to know. Feel free to judge me as I currently have an ASRock H81M-G board, which is bare minimum for my current setup.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of installing an M.2 NVME SSD on my Z97 board using a PCIe adapter. I'm currently in doubt whether this will work as a boot drive & if the slot might bottleneck the SSD. Situation is like this: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K MB: Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 The top PCIe slot runs at 3.0 x16 speeds and is populated with the GPU (GTX 1060). The PCIe slot I'm thinking of putting the adapter in is running at 2.0 x4 speeds. If I look at the Motherboard diagram (attached) the PCIe x16 is running straight off the CPU, while the x4 is running off the chipset so I shouldn't experience any impact from populating both slots. I want to use the following: PCIe to M.2 adapter: SilverStone SST-ECM21 (http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=703&area=en) M.2 SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 250GB (http://www.samsung.com/uk/memory-storage/960-evo-nvme-m-2-ssd/MZ-V6E250BW/) Will the PCIe 2.0 x4 limit the speeds of this SSD & will I be able to boot from it? All feedback and/or recommendations greatly appreciated!

I got a z97extreme4 with a 4770k that barely overclocks. I know the thing used to hackintosh with multibeast into high Sierra, but I’m wondering about the new stuff. Do I have a shot with this old hardware? Would I be able to put a card on it and play the Mac games in my steam library?
